Prihvaćeno: 31. VIII. 2015. SAŽETAK Krajem siječnja 1945. Nijemci su u južnoj Hercegovini pokrenuli operaciju Bura. Ta je ope- racija poremetila planove Vrhovnog štaba NOVJ za zauzimanje Širokog Brijega, Mostara i Nevesinja krajem siječnja 1945. Prodorom združenih njemačkih i oružanih snaga NDH u južnu Hercegovinu nastojalo se osigurati nesmetano povlačenje njemačke skupine armija E preko Mostara, Ivan sedla, Sarajeva i dalje prema Brodu na Savi. U radu su korišteni objavljeni i neobjavljeni izvori. Ključne riječi: operacija Bura, njemačka skupina armija E, Široki Brijeg, Mostar, Nevesinje, Čapljina, 369. pješačka divizija, Oružane snage NDH, 29. hercegovačka divizija. UVOD Do kraja prosinca 1944. narodnooslobodilačka vojska Jugoslavije (NOVJ) nadzirala je Srbiju, Makedoniju, Crnu Goru i dio Nezavisne Države Hrvatske (NDH). Njemačko Vrhovno zapovjedništvo (Oberkommando des Heeres) je sredinom 1944. uvidjelo da njihovim položajima u jugoistočnoj Europi, zbog općih promjena na europskom bojištu, s istoka prijeti opasnost od Crvene armije i NOVJ. Snage Crvene armije i NOVJ grupirale su se između Dunava i Beograda s namjerom osvajanja Zagreba i Budimpešte. Njemačka vojska u NDH našla se pred ozbiljnom prijetnjom potpunog vojnog sloma od strane Crvene armije. Otežavajuću okolnost za zapovjedništvo Jugoistoka predstavljalo je to što se njemačka skupina armija E, jakosti oko 350 tisuća vojnika, koja se sredinom 1944. * Hrvoje Mandić ([email protected]) je magistar povijesti uposlen u Hrvatskom dokumentacijskom centru Domovinskog rata u BiH sa sjedištem u Mostaru.

Confidence Men the Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 By
Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 by Brett Edward Lintott A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy, Graduate Department of History, in the University of Toronto © Copyright by Brett Edward Lintott, 2015 Abstract Confidence Men The Mediterranean Double-Cross System, 1941-45 Brett Edward Lintott Doctor of Philosophy Department of History University of Toronto, 2015 This dissertation provides an analysis of the Mediterranean double-cross system of the Second World War, which was composed of a number of double agents who were turned by the Allies and operated against their ostensible German spymasters. Utilizing many freshly released archival materials, this study assesses how the double-cross system was constructed, why it was an effective instrument, and how it contributed to Allied success in two areas: security and counter-intelligence, and military deception. The focus is thus on both organization and operations. The chapters cover three chronological periods. In the first — 1941-42 — the initial operational usage of a double agent is assessed, along with the development of early organizational structures to manage and operate individual cases as components of a team of spies. The second section, covering 1943, assesses three issues: major organizational innovations made early that year; the subsequent use of the double agent system to deceive the Germans regarding the planned invasion of Sicily in July; and the ongoing effort to utilize double agents to ensure a stable security and counter-intelligence environment in the Mediterranean theatre. The third and final section analyzes events in 1944, with a focus on double-cross deception in Italy and France, and on the emergence of more systematic security and counter-intelligence double-cross operations in Italy and the Middle East.

CHAPTER 3: The Evolution of the Trial Program INTRODUCTION As noted in the previous chapter, although Taylor‟s initial forecast called for at least 36 trials involving at least 266 defendants, the OCC ultimately managed to hold only 12 trials involving 185 defendants. This chapter explains that dramatic reduction. Section 1 focuses on the OCC‟s early planning, describing how the OCC determined which of the nearly 100,000 war-crimes suspects detained pursuant to JCS 1023/10 were eligible to be prosecuted in the zonal trials and examining the general principles the OCC used to group those potential defendants into particular cases. Section 2 then traces the gradual evolution of the OCC‟s actual trial program, explaining how the OCC selected the twelve trials and explaining why, for various reasons, it decided to abandon a number of other cases. I. PRINCIPLES OF SELECTION A. Early Planning The OCC – then still known as the SPD – began to determine who would be tried in the zonal trials

Opfer, Helden, Kriegsverbrecher?
Walter Manoschek Opfer, Helden, Kriegsverbrecher? Österreichische Wehrmachtsgeneräle auf dem Balkan Das Wissen um die Tatsache, daß im Zweiten Weltkrieg Österreicher in den Balkanländern in überdurchschnittlich hohem Maße an Kriegsverbrechen und Verbrechen gegen die Menschlichkeit beteiligt gewesen sind, ist kein Produkt der „Waldheimjahre". Schon im Zuge der Londoner Außenministerkonferenz im Jahre 194 7, bei der die jugoslawische Regierung erfolglos Reparationszah lungen und Gebietsabtretungen von Österreich forderte (Österreich war bei der Konferenz u.a. mit dem „Balkanspezialisten" und damaligen Sekretär des Außenministers, Dr. Kurt Waldheim, vertreten), erschien in Jugoslawien ein für die internationale Öffentlichkeit bestimmter Bericht über die von Österreichern in Jugoslawien begangenen Kriegsverbrechen.1 Dieser Bericht sowie das Fak tum, daß von den insgesamt 4.433 Kriegsgefangenen in Jugoslawien 2.062 aus Österreich stammten, wurden damals von der österreichischen Öffentlichkeit mit Empörung aufgenommen. Wie Möhring herausgearbeitet hat, wurde nach Kriegsende in Österreich die Partizipation von Österreichern am Krieg auf dem Balkan und die Mitverantwortung für die Greuel dieses Krieges uminterpre tiert, ~he in klassischer Täter-Opfer-Umkehr zum Gegenangriff übergegangen wurde. 2 Bei diesen Anschuldigungen scheute die österreichische Presse nicht vor 1 The Yugoslav War Crimes Commission, Hg., Report on thc Crimes of Austria and the Austrians against Yugoslavia and her Peoples, Beigrade 1947. Obwohl der Bericht aufgrund damals nicht zugänglicher Archivunterlagen in mancher Hinsicht einer aktuellen historisch wissenschaftlichen und juristischen Prüfung nicht standhält, zeichnet er dennoch ein er schreckendes Bild von den Greueltaten von Österreichern in Jugoslawien. 2 Siehe dazu Rubina Möhring, Trauma Balkankrieg.
